The Flag is Up
by Patsey GrayThe young stallion stood tall, surely over sixteen hands, more like a thoroughbred than a quarter horse. His build was terrific--a compact barrel, deep through the girth, broad of chest and big of bone. His neck was long and curved, his head like a picture, with a wide brow, big eyes, and small sharp ears. He was something. And his color! Bold black dapples matched his black mane and tail, and his black stockings. The rest was gray, not a faint gray, but more like silver. In the dark stall he shone, not as if from grooming, but in a weird way, as if by his own light. The word 'Quicksilver' was chalked above his door. Exactly the right name for him! Yet Pablo felt it wasn't only color and conformation that made the horse remarkable. It was more like something inside of him, spirit or heart. Pablo could hardly believe his luck when Quicksilver's careless owner left the injured horse in his care, and Grandpa, who has been a trainer in Mexico, confirmed his belief that this was a truly special horse. Pablo Romero lived with his grandfather above Barn K at a racetrack in southern California. It was a perfect place to live; from sunrise onward it was loud with the drum of galloping horses, and it overlooked the entire track. And Pablo could earn enough for their food and found odd jobs around the track until Grandfather was strong enough to work again. When Mr. Bennett, the best trainer at the track, showed interest in Quicksilver, and his daughter Karen became Pablo's friend, many exciting things began to happen for the Romeros, and Pablo slowly realized that caring for a horse might mean giving up some things. The racetrack, with all its behind-scenes work and excitement, is a vivid, realistic setting for this heartwarming story of a boy and a very special horse.
